ON RUN CAL CLM-3 Lens Motor Operation: Due to its very high torque, the CLM-3 motor needs special attention in usage. Careless calibration or mounting may ruin lens mechanics! To minimize the risk of lens damages, any ARRI CLM-3 capable lens control system with a CLM-3 connected, sends a CAL request every time a CLM-3 drive unit has been repowered. ONLY in case you are REALLY SURE that the CLM-3 motor setup has not been changed, you may override this CLM-3 dependent CAL request by double-pressing the CAL button within 0.5 seconds.

The adjustment is only available if a motor with high power drive is detected (UMC-3A, ARRIFLEX 416 PLUS (HS) or ALEXA Plus/Studio) high value (4) - high torque - low value(1) - low torque Please select the required torque level carefully: Higher torque levels should be used for rough-running lenses. Note: Take care to re-calibrate the CLM-3 motor after re-attachment of the motor and after each lens change! Ignoring this procedure can lead to severe lens damage. Lower torque levels should be used for smooth-running lenses. Note: If the torque level is not adequate to lens properties or operation temperature, the electronic torque limitation may cause a high-frequency noise. Use a higher torque level to reduce this effect. Note: Controlling the ALEXA Plus/Studio, torque adjustment is possible at the ALEXA Plus/Studio only. 16 Message Descriptions Currently no function, reserved for future applications.

Setup 5.2 Selecting the radio channel (“Yellow Radio“) Every time, the control setup has been established or changed, a power cycle and calibration is advisable. The “Yellow“ radio modem in the WCU-3 utilises a specific scheme of constantly changing frequencies, making the connection between the different radio units very robust against interference. The even channels on the radio channel selector switch (numbers 0, 2, 4, 6) utilize the upper half of the bandwidth (2444 - 2472 MHz) while the odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7) use the lower frequencies (2406 - 2435 MHz). 5.1 Wireless setup Radio Channel Setup The two available Radio types “White“ Radio and “Yellow“ Radio are NOT compatible to each other! Therefore ARRI Radio equipped units can generally only control/ communicate to units with the same Radio type. To establish a connection of one or more Wireless Hand Control Units* (a maximum of three per radio channel is possible), the WCU-3 must be set to the same radio channel as the camera or the Motor Control Unit. Please refer to Section 3.2 for unit‘s compatibility. It is not possible to control more than one motor control unit with one WCU-3. Select the radio channel by pushing the jog wheel at the unit‘s lower side and select the Channel Menu. Please refer to Section 4.1 for details. 18 * WCU-3, WMU-3, the WMU-2 supports „Yellow“ Radio only In case two remote systems with yellow antenna washer must work side by side on different channels, it is recommended to set one of the systems to an upper (even) channel and the other system to a lower (odd) channel number. Due to local telecommunications regulations, only certain channels are allowed in some countries. The WCU-3 must be used with odd channel numbers in France. In all other countries, radio channels from 0-7 may be programmed if there are no specific local telecommunication restrictions for the 2.4 GHz ISM-band. The new “White“ radio has, aside from being available, the advantage of offering more robust transmission through direct sequence spread-spectrum and adjacent channel rejection technologies. Thus the “White“ radio is less prone to interference from other wireless devices and can better co-exist with WLAN devices on the set. The “White“ radio modem in the WCU-3 utilises a different transmission scheme compared to the “Yellow“ radio, therefore it is connecting to other “White“ radio equipment only. To establish a connection of one or more Wireless Hand Control Units* (a maximum of three per radio channel is possible), the WCU-3 must be set to the same radio channel as the camera or the Motor Control Unit. Please refer to Section 3.2 for unit‘s compatibility. It is not possible to control more than one motor control unit with one WCU-3. Frequency range is the ISM 2.4 GHz. Modulation scheme used is DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). ARRI Ch. Nr. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2,410 GHz 2,415 GHz 2,430 GHz 2,435 GHz 2,450 GHz 2,455 GHz 2,470 GHz 2,475 GHz Setup 5.3 Selecting the radio channel (“White Radio“) In case two remote systems with white antenna washer must work side by side on different channels, it is recommended to set one of the systems to even channel and the other system to a neighbor - odd - channel number. Select the radio channel by pushing the jog-wheel at the unit‘s lower side and select the Channel Menu. Refer to Section 4.1 for details. * WCU-3, WMU-3 19 Setup Channel selection on motor control units: Control troubleshooting Use the rotary channel selection knob on the LDB-2 (Lens Data Box), the FEM-2, the UMC-3(A) or ARRIFLEX 416 plus(HS). Selector switch number 9 switches the radio modem off, number 8 is reserved for special purposes. Press the LCS button on the ALEXA Plus/Studio, and select the same channel as on the WCU-3. For a detailed description of the radio channel setting on units other than the WCU-3 please refer to the respective operation manual. - Axis lost: configuration has been changed while the units have been powered-on -> re-power and calibrate - Focus or Iris not available in a separate control system: set both Focus and Iris to Knob control on their respective control units and re-power the units - Jerky motor drive: mixed-up LCS connections for old (-1/2) and new (-3) hand units or motors (see page 22) Radio connection troubleshooting - incorrect modem type (“Yellow“ - “White“ mixed-up) wrong channel setting - channel mismatch broken antenna or dirty antenna socket on partner units too long or too short distance to foreign party radio units, depends on local conditions - interfering (illegal) foreign party transmitters - another WCU-3 already drives the selected lens motor 20 5.4 Optional Zoom Control Connecting the ZMU-3(A) via cable KC 129-S and the WCU-3 to ZMU-3 bracket (refer to page 10 for order numbers), the WCU-3 may be expanded to a three axis lens control system. The ZMU-3(A) will be powered from the WCU-3 battery in wireless mode. Only a ZMU-3(A) may be supplied from the WCU-3 battery in wireless operation.
